I think a few people dont quite get it. what she did during the tournament was to make him loose in order to report to melra that they wouldnt need him because he is weak (so that they would stop bothering him). so she did that for her disciple.
OH WAIT
THIS IS MY THEORY BUT
SINCE THE DEMON LORD MC FOUGHT IN HIS 1ST WORLD WAS HORNLESS
AND MC USED A DEMON MAGIC IN THE TOURNEMENT
I BET THE MC IS THE DEMON LORD
****
WHY DID HE SACRIFICED HALF OF THE HUMAN CONTINENT FOR THE SAKE OF GOING BACK IN TIME?
EASY
THE WORLD WAS ANNIHILATED BY ONE OF THE GODS FOLLOWERS
WHICH I ASSUME THE DARK GOD WHO DISCRIMINATES
@XieShu the god is Melra
And its not him due to the fact that theres not two of them: old one and younger one, and your theory seem good but not him someone related to him who has demon blood.
We already did this. The Knight Captain was the murderer. Now we pop in gods out of nowhere. Not to mention that they keep retconning everything established in the story so far. This story is literally just on repeat but "do it bigger next time" mode.
- MC goes back in time after touching a unknown magic item. Retconned to be a Mana container.
- Elf Summoner is established to be his old wife. Retconned to be a background character the MC doesn't give a shit about.
- Sword spirit is constantly called "He" for many chapters. Retconned into a girl.
- Sword is established as on par with Holy Swords and used to defeat the Demon king. First regular encountered Demon blocks it with his arm. Retconned into Sword is just nothing.
- Mana is established at birth and MC has a double soul to get double mana. Retconned to his magic power is worthless as he casts no powerful spells. Retconned again into a demon hand blast.
- Mother, Father and Master all retired into an enemy kingdom after their origins were Retconned to be from another Kingdom.
It pretty clear that she is a double agent and after seeing how she cares for kail I think she did that to keep the hertics off mc's back. Tho I could be wrong and she can legit be rotten bitch.
